Former Magpie On Trial With Robins

Bristol City are set to take Matty Pattison on trial according to reports.

Once of Newcastle United, Pattison is a free agent following a stint with Bidvest Wits in South Africa, Bristol City could be his ticket back to the UK where he would like to play again.

The 27 year old has experience in England after playing for Newcastle and Norwich, now he has the chance to impress the powers that be at Bristol City although he remains open for other clubs to step in.

His agent, Jonathan Hope, said to Sky Sports: 'Matty is raring to go and Bristol City have huge plans so we are hopeful of going in as soon as they return from their tour.

'He would definitely be a huge coup for the club should all go well.

"I believe in the player and (fellow agent) Tony Asghar and myself believe that Bristol City is where Matty would shine.

"However, he is still free and if an offer came in elsewhere we would have to look at this also.'
